Preview Grand Final Mighty Hawks vs Fremantle - 28 September 2013

[Taskmaster]

Bring it on Freo..... Your so big and tough over there. Just wait and see what "pressure" you get when you come to a pro Hawthorn crowd and a Hawthorn side that will carve this purple shit up!!!! Sydney are spent, they have nothing left, so if Freo think that they are unreal... good luck, bring it on you shit bricks.

If I was Clarko I would get Bud to knock Crowleys head off literally next week. Who cares if he gets 4 weeks for it. GWS will have to deal with it!!!

 

[Agent Smith]

They are out Sydneying Sydney

Well, we out Geelonged Geelong...

 

[Der Drop Kick]

The good thing about the way Freo are playing is that anyone who felt Hawthorn may have played their GF last night should hopefully be wrong. I do not think there would be one Hawks player watching this and not taking note. Freo are looking impressive, but it is only half time

 

[Pessimistic]

Well, we out Geelonged Geelong...

I reckon they out hawthorned us

Showing all their cards I think

 

[Pessimistic]

Sydney only a few goals down

Let see if freo can answer

 

[Hawthorn1971]

I am riding every bump with a grin......

 

[Xtreme]

We better ensure that each player is 100% fit for the grand final (Buddy included).

 

[Hawthorn1971]

Swans a shadow of what we expect.

Bruise free party at Subi.

Fremantle look ****ing fantastic. Let's hope our forwards have a good day as I 'm not sure I'd back our mids in at this stage to dominate. Fremantle are absolutely running like frenzied mother****ers tonight, and I hope that bodes well for us. While last night was emotionally sapping, I don't know if it was as physically sapping as a lot are leading on.
Brilliant attack and build up play against power and defensive pressure. I reckon most would back in Arsenal against Stoke.
I feel the thing that makes me confident we will win is that the pressure Freo bring to the table cannot last for 4 x 30+ minute quarters, it just isn't physically possible, and with our scoring potency. we 3-5 times during the game will have a chance to pile on a few goals.
The last quarter will be one to watch I reckon. **** me it's already too exciting and unbearable to think about. CARN THE ****ING HAWKS!

Hawks haven't lost to Dockers since 2010 EF. Their pressure is excellent, probably as good as ours, but their forward line is average and they will struggle to contain all of our forwards IMO. Should be a good contest!

 

[Pessimistic]

The current finals series gives the minor premier a tough game and the other pf winner a game against poorer opposition where they get their tails up

I reckon we need to hunt them for the first part of the game because they absolutely hate that as much as they love hunting the opposition

We need to approach as if we are the second best team because thats what the finals have dealt us

They cant do that pressure shit that the ch 7 are blowing wads over for four quarters

They haven't been able to tonight. Swans just haven't capitalised on their chances in the second half.

 

[2Sewell4School]

There's been a notable drop off in Freo's pressure since half time. It's inconceivable that such levels could be maintained over an entire match. Sydney finally setup their back line and use it by foot and all of a sudden it evens up. It seems that Sydney's forward line missed the plane. Actually could have gotten back in it.

Certainly not going to be a walkover but we'll absorb their pressure for as long as they can dish it up then make our mark.

 

[Taskmaster]

F..k Freo, we will smash these pricks!! They have more to worry about than us. Their forward line is shit!!! They have beaten a Sydney side that has lost the plot and are spent!!

And could Taylor and Darcy be any further up the Freo players arses??

Youd be better picking three freo fans randomly out of the crowd to commentate.

Its fourth rate commentary. Malthouse was right

 

[LuvMyHawks]

If we want to win next week, they had better learn how to kick goals,or we will go down like a lead balloon.

 

[Hawthorn1971]

They're doing the Mexican Wave at Subi?!!

Still 1997 over there evidently...

 

[SHAKESPEARE]

It's ours to lose...again

 

[Taskmaster]

It's ours to lose...again

Exactly!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Haven't heard the final siren, but it's clear it'll be Fremantle - hence the thread title change.

 

[Hawthorn1971]

Ok, so we beat the Swans by 9 goals.

Freo have a circle jerk at home, and can beat a further depleted Swans by.....

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Well there it is - hawthorn v Fremantle.

We've been there before, many of the players have been there twice.
We know what a win looks like as well as a loss.
We finally get over our nemesis is a grueling match
We have an extra day's rest and it's at our home ground
We've played them once and won easily (in Tassie)
We're pretty damn good at kicking big scores

They have come in with great form
They've played the same teams in the finals as we have, and won by more against both*
They have Ross Lyon the greatest coach of anything ever
They finally have Mundy, Pav, Sandi and McPharlin all fit at the same time
They're incredibly good at stopping big scores

WOOOOOOOOOOP GRAND FINAL WEEK!

 

[West Coast 06]

Just smash them, for the love of God!

Bonus points for taking out Crowley/ Ballantyne early on.
